The Columbus Blues Alliance has run multiple BITS (Blues In The Schools) programs over the years, but always wanted to – and could – do more. When we learned of BluesEd, created by the Blues Society of Omaha, we got their blessing to work a Columbus-based version of the program. We are therefore proud to have created…

614 BluesEd is a curriculum-based program where skilled groups of under-21 musicians interested in the blues are coached on all aspects of the blues music industry, including business dealings and other aspects of being a professional musician. The pandemic stalled the program, but it is now back up and running!

In 2022, the first 614 BluesEd group – Just Another Mojo – participated in the Columbus Blues Challenge and were selected to travel to Memphis for the 2023 IBC.
